LVL TermiSPAN
LVL TermiSPAN Sydney
Open-plan living puts structural demands on floor systems that conventional framing cannot always meet without intermediate supports that cut across the layout. LVL TermiSPAN is engineered to span further than standard sawn timber of equivalent depth, giving architects and builders the structural freedom to deliver the open-plan floor layouts clients expect in modern residential construction. H2 treated for termite protection in above-ground applications, with consistent E-grade performance across every member.
Longer Spans, Fewer Supports, More Design Freedom
Every intermediate post or beam that comes out of an open-plan floor layout is a win for the design and a win for the build program. TermiSPAN LVL achieves this by delivering higher stiffness per unit depth than conventional sawn timber, which means fewer joists at greater spacing, less material in the floor, and fewer supports interrupting the space below. The result is a floor that performs to specification from the day it goes in, without the seasonal movement and variability that affects solid timber members.
Available in standard depths and lengths to suit residential floor and roof framing schedules. Trade pricing and bulk quantities available. Delivery to Sydney, the Blue Mountains, Wollongong, and the Central Coast.
Long-span floor systems need solid connections at every bearing, and framing connectors rated for LVL are in stock alongside the TermiSPAN range. The sub-floor going over these joists typically calls for T and G sub-floor panels to eliminate movement at the sheet joins underfoot.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is LVL TermiSPAN used for?
LVL TermiSPAN is engineered for long-span floor and roof framing in residential construction. It is used where conventional sawn timber requires intermediate supports that restrict open-plan layouts, such as large living areas, open kitchens, and garage roof systems.
What does TermiSPAN mean?
TermiSPAN is a product line from LVL manufacturer Carter Holt Harvey. It is engineered laminated veneer lumber with a distinctive blue coating, designed for long-span structural applications with H2 termite treatment built in.
What treatment does LVL TermiSPAN carry?
LVL TermiSPAN carries H2 preservative treatment for protection against termites and borers in above-ground interior applications. It is not rated for ground contact or prolonged moisture exposure.
Can TermiSPAN LVL be used for roof framing?
Yes. TermiSPAN is suited to roof rafters, ridge beams, and hip and valley members in residential roof framing, particularly where longer spans and reduced intermediate supports are required. Confirm sizing with your engineer.
How does TermiSPAN compare to standard LVL E13 H2?
TermiSPAN is engineered specifically for long-span applications and may carry a higher E-grade rating than standard E13. The blue coating is a manufacturer identification feature. Confirm the specific grade and span capacity with the product data sheet or your engineer before specifying.
